Yeah, I noticed that on their website. I think if you looked closely a lot of this was probably apparent for a while. They just haven't forced the issue in a public way before now
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I wasn't paying attention. I didn't ever give them $$ and I had no idea this was their agenda.
Man.

No, me either. Because who would think? You don't look for a right-wing agenda in a cancer charity, you know? Except now I will.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
what the fuck? how can you be for a cure and not support stem cell research? I don't get this.
Per this summary of the mess at DailyKos, SGK *did* support stem cell research, most recently giving $12M/year in grants, until this past November. Either they were a lot quieter about it or the former grant recipients were, so it just slipped under everyone's radar until this week.
But, yep, hell yeah they used to be for a cure and vigorously support stem cell research, just not no more.

Our wings are not tired.
There have been a number of times in the past that I sponsored friends in their races. I want to believe this is going to dramatically change their fund raising, but it is more likely that those that applaud their agenda will make up the difference.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Apparently there's a Canadian documentary opening next week that addresses all the problems with the SGK foundation.
